That has been a standard since Netscape Communicator, it allows you to precisely specify the 24-bit color you want. Stop complaining about stuff being hard when it is definitely not.

A question about bookmark keywords - in Ulf's response he said that this can be done now but with the hotlist plugin (Opera) and macros. I couldn't find any info regarding this in the online docs. Also why isn't it implemented in the bookmarks (Netscape/Mozilla) plugin as well ? In Mozilla the keyword in bookmarks.html is SHORTCUTURL= and it usually comes right after LAST_MODIFIED=

Save as (ID_FILE_SAVE_AS) doesn't place the filename and file type in the save dialog box but save link as (ID_SAVE_LINK_AS) does. Save as uses the page title (or blank for a text file) as the filename and the type is always web page (.html).

Andrew, I just read the response, all of the ALT entries on my list are things which I have done myself and they work fine. My modified up_directory macro checks if you're already in the root dir of a site and won't try to goto "." if you are. Adding user_pref("nglayout.debug.disable_xul_fastload", true); prevents xul.mfl from ever being created, the other debug xu

Here's another thought, do you have HTTP 1.1 pipelining enabled ? That can sometimes cause problems. Also try disabling link prefetching.

I am using an ad filtering proxy, AdSubtract SE 2.42 but even if I disable its filtering the page in question still renders properly. Anyway I looked at the page source and there are no ads so that shouldn't be the issue.

For starters you really need to get your terminology straight. By "script language" one can only assume you mean the macro language. The .cfg files are simple configurations files which allow you to define key functions (accel.cfg), menu items (menus.cfg), toolbar buttons (toolbars.cfg), and optional macros which can be used in the others (macros.cfg). The options you can set in the pre

I'm using HTTP 1.1 in both K-Meleon and Mozilla and it works fine for me. The HTTP version only affects how pages are fetched from the server, it shouldn't affect the page content useless you're using a proxy which is somehow affecting things.

Will any new work be done on the weasel plugin ? I noticed there is some code for this in the tree on Sourceforge but it hasn't been updated in over a year. That would certainly be a great addition to K-Meleon. Can any code from Mozilla be used for this analogous to what's already done with the browser code ? I know embedded Mozilla only covers the browser component but theoretically co
Forum: Development

I hope the K-Meleon developers spend time fixing bugs and adding useful features like global history when embedded Mozilla supports it and URL autocompletion and other browser functionality, not some hand-holding gui thing which will just bloat the distribution file unneccesarily and provide no useful browser functionality. Referring to macros and config files as "scary stuff" is absol

For crying out loud, prefs.js is a Netscape/Mozilla standard and has been so for a long time. I've made many changes to prefs.js in K-Meleon, Mozilla, and Netscape 4.x, it's definitely not a problem. While prefs.js is processed internally as Javascript, it is just a settings file much like a .ini file. Again there is documentation for prefs.js online. Also many prefs are available via t

Why do you keep going on about this ? What exactly do you want or need that you feel you need to write a macro to do ? K-Meleon's target audience is anyone who wants the Gecko rendering engine without the slowness of Mozilla's XUL application framework. K-Meleon is the only browser that I know of which has a macro language but you don't have to use it, in fact you don't ha

No, I'm saying the macro language is simple and straightforward to use and it's well documented. I didn't have to cut and paste anything, I just looked at the macros that came with the distribution and the macro reference manual and wrote the macros I wanted.

Problem is the icon is not something that's easily changed as it's a resource within k-meleon.exe. You can change the desktop icon easy enough but not the titlebar and taskbar icon (well at least not that I know of since I'm not a windoze programmer). If I want browser comedy I'll read up on the latest M$ browser flaws and security holes. Anyway I'm more interested in the

Why bother with K-Meleon ?? Because it's small and fast. You mention XUL-based browsers but that's the very reason why Mozilla is slow. XUL is an XML-based interpreted language which forms the basis of an application framework. XUL is very CPU intensive and disk intensive (reading .jar files, .rdf files, etc., accessing a XUL cache file which can grow to 3+ M. Frankly the Mozilla develo

Fair enough, I revoke my comments about the rebar plugin but it should be fixed as to not break the menu bar access keys.

K-Meleon's macro language is great, it's simple and straightforward, here's the reference manual: http://kmeleon.freewebsites.com/kmeleon-manual/macro-lang.html There's no if/then/else but you can use the ternary operator (condition ? true-statement : false-statement) to essentially accomplish the same thing.
